What would be great, would be to actually see a show about travel on the Travel Channel and not about food. Put Bourdain and Andrew Zimmern and Adam Richman on Food Network.

All day or night its all Bourdain or its Man vs. Food or its Bizzare Foods.

Maybe something bizzare would to actually do shows about travel. Like Samantha Browns shows.

I used to like Rachel Ray but her in your face personality ALL the time has got tiring. She used to seem like somebody from the neighborhood. Now she seems like Oprah light (or is that Oprah white).

Now Giada is easy on the eyes.

Paula would be fun to meet. Guy Fieri would be fun to meet also. His show actually makes me want to check these places out.

Samantha Brown's shows are the antithesis of what the Travel Channel should be about. She has an original take on just about nothing.

I agree that the TC has gone too "foodie" of late, but more insipid milquetoasts globetrotting isn't the cure.

One can always write to some governmental ministry or "tourism office" for the highly varnished tourist info like Brown cheekily (and boringly) provides.

I just can’t stand Giada.....She talks to her audience as though we are retards...”Now you take your spoon and scoop up a piece, and put it in your mouth....Isn’t that pretty....That’s so pretty....And thyme is this lemony oh so fresh herb and it’s so pretty”.....and she’s bossy....”Ok now everyone can start eating...OK guys pick up your forks and dig in”.....She’s a nuisance to me...I like enjoy Bourdain and Ina and Iron Chef.

Ray as long a she never talks!!!

the Travel Channel also has the treasure show. The woman on that is pretty hot. Especially digging in West Texas for opal.

Now Giada is easy on the eyes.

Ahem.......rules!!!

Giada violates the precept, Never trust a skinny Italian [woman] cook. Same rule applies to grandmothers [does the phrase Nancy Pelosi ring a bell].
